Providing surgical robots with a new kind of machine intelligence that significantly extends their capabilities and makes them much easier and more intuitive for surgeons to operate is the goal of a major new grant announced as part of the\u00a0National Robotics Initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The five-year, $3.6 million project, titled Complementary Situational Awareness for Human-Robot Partnerships, is a close collaboration among research teams directed by Nabil Simaan,<\/a> associate professor of mechanical engineering at ¹ú²ú´«Ã½; Howie Choset, professor of robotics at Carnegie Mellon University; and Russell Taylor, the John C. Malone Professor of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to establish a new concept called complementary situational awareness,” said Simaan. “Complementary situational awareness refers to the robot’s ability to gather sensory information as it works and to use this information to guide its actions.”<\/p>\n

The project is funded by the\u00a0National Science Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
